Valentine's Pancakes


Thank you Trader Joe's for sampling these last week. I made these Red Velvet Pancakes for Valentine's Day. Oooooh man these were so creamy delicious. Even my husband who thinks pancakes are just okaaaay, fell in love with these. I can't wait to make them again.

RED VELVET PANCAKES
1 Cup flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbs white sugar
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup creme fraiche (or mascarpone)
3 Tbs unsalted butter elted
1 Tbs red food coloring
1 tsp vanilla

MASCARPONE SPREAD
4 oz Mascarpone, softened
2 oz of creme fraiche
2 Tbs white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon zest

Wisk together the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl wisk together the egg, buttermilk, and creme fraiche, melted butter, food coloring, and vanilla. Add them together and wisk just until combined. A little lumpy is ok. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium high heat and cook away!
